does the lamp come with the housing, or just the lamp?

The lamp was in a housing unit and came with a small wrench type screw driver for easy installation. Very quick shipment too.

Comes with the housing. It's handy because the housing catches the flying glass when the bulb explodes a couple months after you buy it.

I liked the idea of having the housing included because it was much easier to install. This was my second housing and lamp in ten years.

I do recommend lamp with housing I believe its better beause you will never touch the bulb . I still used latex glove when installed

This is just a glass cover for the lamp, but if you buy the lamp it does come with a bulb

Yes it is just the bulb, the description is misleading. NO HOUSING is included, despite the "Chrome plated Shell" in its description. You get a sealed beam replacement bulb to fit inside YOUR supplied housings or shells.

HelloI used the housing that came from the lamp. I fits very will and looks identical to the original. The whole process took around five minutes.

Yes, it's complete. You don't have to touch the bulb. The old lamp pulls out and the new lamp pushes in and you're done. Easy.

When I reveived the replacement bulb, it came in a squate housing, The entire housing slides out. So when you replace the bulb, you are actually replacing both the housing and the bulb. When I ordered the bulb, I received the bulb in the housing.

As I recall, the lamp kit is only the "puzzle" pieces. You order the socket separately.

Comes with it's own lamp shade. Not attached to the bulb. It has a harp (I think that's the right term) so you could put any shade on top of the harp. The shade that it comes with is good though. I didn't change it out. My cat kept knocking over my regular lamp, so I decided to have something that attached to the wall ... he's so frustrated!! Good quality lamp, for sure.

It comes with the light bulb. By the way, I've been using mine since late September and it really helps.

Not sure if I understand but....These included all parts of the housing, you use your existing lamp holders and pins that hold the housing to the frame

Hello,The housing is just packaging material. Let me know if you have any further questions or if there is anything else I can help you with.Regards,Tay

sony lamps will come with the entire housing in addition to the bulb. my experience has been that any of the ones you see on amazon going for $50/$60 are fakes and will burn out within a few months. if it's that cheap, it's not going to be a OEM part. i wouldn't trust any of the ones on amazon going for less than about $90.
